Jaguar exceeds domestic sales target ahead the launch of new model

The Philippine distributor of luxury-vehicle brands Jaguar and Land Rover on May 9 said it surpassed its sales target for the first quarter of 2008. Jaguar Cars Inc. said Philippine sales grew 40 percent, placing the local distributor at the fifth spot in the Asia Pacific in terms of sales volume, after Hong Kong, Singapore, Thailand and Malaysia. The distributor however did not provide actual figures. The first-quarter results come ahead of the launch of the Jaguar XF, which replaces the long-running Birmingham-built S-Type after more than nine years. Jaguar's Product Development Center at Whitley, in Coventry, UK designed and developed the model. The launch of the new model marks the car maker's 85th anniversary.
